Joining a collaborative effort to secure the world’s most critical software #
Everyone who has operated their own compute infrastructure has experienced the challenge of auditing firmware, microcode, embedded controllers, and operating systems — all software that are prime targets for bad actors. That experience shaped our belief that all critical software should be inspectable, and is why we open source everything we write. Today we’re joining Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, a collaborative effort to secure the world’s most important software. As part of this collaboration, Oxide is applying Claude Mythos 5 to proactively identify and patch potential vulnerabilities in our own codebase — from firmware through the operating system, control plane, and network stack.
Our core engineering belief at Oxide is that hardware and software should be co-designed — we control every layer, from the root of trust through firmware, operating system, and control plane, out to the network. This is what makes Mythos so useful to us: because we’ve designed the full stack from first principles, we can point it at every layer and act quickly on what it finds.
Co-founder and CTO
Mythos accelerates our cybersecurity defenses without sacrificing responsibility and rigor. We embrace the responsibility to share our security work in the open, including our earlier discovery of a gap in the NXP LPC55S69’s TrustZone. In RFD 576, we describe how we use large language models to bring more engineering rigor to difficult problems and sharpen our own thinking.
We built Oxide having spent years operating infrastructure that was opaque and full of places for vulnerabilities to hide. Designing transparent and verifiable infrastructure was foundational for us. That philosophy extends to how we use Mythos to pressure-test our own stack. Doing this work in the open will benefit every organization that depends on critical software.
